Then reports came out of Rogue One that half the damn movie had to be reshot with a different director, leaving a bit of a disjointed mess. While some were happy to get their fan-service, we found the whole thing as lifeless as Grand Moff Tarkin’s CG eyes.

Then Phil Lord and Chris Miller get fired several weeks into filming on the Han Solo spinoff. Now it’s been announced officially by Lucasfilm that Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow is gone:

“Lucasfilm and Colin Trevorrow have mutually chosen to part ways on Star Wars: Episode IX. Colin has been a wonderful collaborator throughout the development process but we have all come to the conclusion that our visions for the project differ. We wish Colin the best and will be sharing more information about the film soon.”

Hmmm. We’re calling B.S. on the “mutually chosen to part ways” part of that statement. Either he quit or he got fired, and we’re betting on the latter.

Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the relationship between Trevorrow and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy became “unmanageable,” a very similar report to what we heard about Han Solo when those directors were let go.
